ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY.
WE, OUR SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND OUR
SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE,
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-
INFRINGEMENT. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the
foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES
OR OUR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL

Notices

Except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices shall be given to info@bookoo.com (in the
case of Naperville bookoo) or to the email address you provide to Naperville bookoo during the
registration process (in your case). Notice shall be deemed given 24 hours after email is sent,

give you notice by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the address

Resolution of Disputes

In the event a dispute arises between you and Naperville bookoo, our goal is to provide you with a
neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Before resorting to litigation,
we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution and we will consider
reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such
as mediation, as an alternative to litigation.

However, should informal resolution fail, except in matters involving injunctive relief, all
disputes concerning this Agreement shall be resolved by neutral arbitration pursuant to the
procedures below. The commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association
shall be used, although the parties shall not use the American Arbitration Association to any
other extent â and instead will follow the procedures of this Agreement. Such arbitration shall
be held in Chicago, Illinois. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the
parties and enforceable in a court of law.

To commence arbitration proceedings, the party initiating the claim must send the responding
party a written notice of the existence and nature of any dispute ("Notice of Dispute"). Within
fifteen days after delivery of the Notice of Dispute, the parties in dispute shall each (a) appoint
an attorney specializing in commercial law in Illinois for a continuous period immediately
preceding the date of delivery of the Notice of Dispute of not less than five years, but who
has never represented or acted on behalf of either of the parties and (b) deliver written notice
of the identity of such attorney and a true and correct copy of his or her written acceptance of
such appointment to the other party. Within fifteen days after such appointment and notice, the
appointed arbitrators shall meet and agree to the appointment of a third arbitrator who has been
actively engaged in commercial law in Illinois for at least the five immediately preceding years
and shall deliver written notice of the identity of such third arbitrator and a true and correct copy
of his or her written acceptance of such appointment to each of the parties. If either party fails
to appoint an arbitrator as provided in this paragraph, then the arbitrator appointed by the other
party shall be the sole arbitrator and shall arbitrate the dispute in accordance with the provisions
of this paragraph.

The parties agree to abide by the decision of such arbitration. There shall be no appeal from
any decision of the arbitrator(s) other than for fraud and misconduct. The decision of the
arbitration shall be in writing. The decision of the arbitrator(s) may be filed with the clerk of one
or more courts, state or federal, having jurisdiction over the party against whom the decision is
rendered or its property as a basis of judgment and the issuance of execution for collection of any
monetary award contained in the decision.

BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT YOU ARE AGREEING TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE
CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION AND
YOU ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS YOU MIGHT POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE
LITIGATED IN A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU
ARE GIVING UP YOUR JUDICIAL RIGHT TO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL, UNLESS
SUCH RIGHTS ARE SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION. IF YOU REFUSE
TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION AFTER AGREEING TO THIS PROVISION, YOU MAY
BE COMPELLED TO ARBITRATE. YOUR AGREEMENT TO THIS ARBITRATION
PROVISION IS VOLUNTARY.

YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE AND AGREE TO SUBMIT
DISPUTES CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT TO NEUTRAL ARBITRATION.

Notwithstanding the above, with respect to any right or obligation for which there would exist
as a matter of law a right to injunctive or similar equitable relief predicated upon a showing of
irreparable injury, such matter (including the related legal claim) may be submitted to any court
of competent jurisdiction in Illinois. You and Naperville bookoo agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of the courts located within the State of Illinois.

General

This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Illinois. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our services,
and operation of the Site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall
be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. You agree that this Agreement and
all incorporated agreements may be automatically assigned by Naperville bookoo in our sole
discretion, Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or
describe the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you
or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. This
Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to the
subject matter hereof. Sections entitled Release, License, Access and Interference, Liability
Limit, Indemnity and Resolution of Disputes shall survive any termination or expiration of this
Agreement. Naperville bookoo reserves the right to alter this document at any time.

Attorneys' Fees

If Naperville bookoo commences an action, arbitration, or takes any other steps to enforce the
terms of this Agreement or for breach by you of any of the terms of this Agreement, then
Naperville bookoo shall be entitled to receive its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action.

Animal & Gun Policy

Puppy sales are forbidden (free is ok, but specify "free" as the price). We recognize that pets need homes, and thus we allow individual adoption postings for under $100 for dogs over one year of age. Anything else that may have the appearance otherwise will likely be flagged and removed. Additionally, stud services are prohibited. All animal sales are forbidden on military bases/posts (it's illegal). The breeding and raising of pets on Government property for the express purpose of profit is prohibited. All pet listings must have prices. If there is no price, then it must explicitly say "FREE". No wanted listings for pets may be posted.

Stud service advertisements of any kind are also prohibited.

Gun sales strictly prohibited.
